State Library of North Carolina

The State Library of North Carolina is the principal library of state government; we build the capacity of all libraries; and we develop and support access to specialized collections.

Library Development provides North Carolina library communities with access to the information they need to achieve their personal, educational and professional goals.

The North Carolina Library for Blind and Physically Handicapped is the library for people who can't read standard print because of a visual or physical disability

The GHL preserves and facilitates public access to state government information; advancing the study, understanding, and appreciation of North Carolina's cultural heritage; and supports the operational needs of state government agencies.

Libraries are invited to apply for LSTA funding that supports a new or improved program or service that will solve a specific problem or meet an identified need of the library’s current or potential users.

The State Library completed a survey as part of a needs assessment to identify opportunities to better serve our communities.
